Chapter 2: Control Panel Operations

The control panel gives you push-button control over the printer’s operations. It
includes indicator lights, which tell you the current status of the printer at a
glance.

This chapter describes control panel functions that can be performed while the
printer is turned on and either on-line or off-line. The buttons perform different
functions in the EDS and Dot Adjustment Modes. Functions of control panel
buttons in these modes are described in the relevant sections covering them.

Switching between on-line and off-line

Press

ON LINE

to switch the printer between being on-line and off-line.

When the printer is on-line, the

ON LINE

indicator is lit and the printer can

receive data from the computer. You should make sure that the printer is on-
line whenever you are trying to print.

When the printer is in off-line, the

ON LINE

indicator goes out, which

means that the printer cannot receive any data.

Note that you can also press

ON LINE

while a printing operation is in

progress to stop the printing.

Important!

Make sure that the on-line/off-line setting of the printer is correct before
performing a control panel operation.
